Relax.  I am not the one trying to justify the geography. 

I am just saying I doubt the warriors have any interest regardless of how close or far it is from Malibu.

Definition of LEVERAGE
1

2
: power, effectiveness <trying to gain more political leverage>

This isn't leverage it's an alternative there is a big difference.

I thought we needed a word for today.

By creating an alternative and leaking it to the media DA would have gained leverage over the clippers. Much the same way the clippers interviewing other coaches gave them leverage over the celtics.

When your opposition thinks you have no other options you have lost all leverage.
